An dèidh leirmheas a dhèanamh air obair nam buidhnean san ràith a chaidh seachad, tha am Bòrd a-nis a’ tairgse cothrom conaltraidh as ùr air amasan a’ Bhùird thaobh meudachadh àireamhan luchd labhairt na Gàidhlig mu choinneimh nan ro-innleachdan a th’anns a’ phlana Ginealach Ur na Gàidhlig a dh’ aontaichear leis a’ Mhinistear nas tràithe air a’ bhliadhna.

Thuirt Ceannard Bòrd na Gàidhlig, Iain A MacAoidh: “ Tha e coltach gum bi na trì bliadhna a tha ri teachd duilich dha gach buidheann san roinn phoblach, ach feumaidh sinn aghaidh a chur air an dùbhlan sin. San àrainneachd anns am bheil sinn ag obair tha conaltradh, co-obrachadh is compàirteachais dòigheil air leth cudromach, is tha sin deatamach chan ann a-mhàin eadar nam buidhnean Gàidhlig ach cuideachd eadarainn is nam buidhnean poblach aig am bheil planaichean Gàidhlig.

Bidh na choinneamhan air an cumail air 9-10 Sultain.

BÒRD NA GÀIDHLIG AG IARRAIDH GUM BI DLEASTANAS SÒISEALTA A’ LEANTAINN ANN AN LEASACHADH
Tha pàirt deatamach air a bhith aig Iomairt na Gàidhealtachd ’s nan Eilean agus Bòrd Leasachaidh na Gàidhealtachd ’s nan Eilean a bh’ ann roimhe, ann an cruthachadh agus ann an cumail suas leasachadh eaconamach, cànanach, cultarach agus sòisealta co-cheangailte ri Gàidhlig sa Ghàidhealtachd ’s na h-Eileanan thar nan deich bliadhna fichead a chaidh seachad.
Anns an tagradh gu Comataidh an Eaconamaidh, Lùth agus Turasachd aig Riaghaltas na h-Alba mar fhreagairt don bhreithneachadh làithreach air an adhbhar airson buidheann iomairt, tha Bòrd na Gàidhlig air iarraidh gum bi dleastanas leasachaidh sòisealta HIE air a chumail suas. Tha buannachdan eaconamach agus sòisealta air èirigh a-mach às an sin thar nan trì deicheadan bhliadhnaichean a chaidh seachad, tha am Bòrd ag aithris, a’ toradh luach airgid a bha ann an co-rèir ris an t-sùim bheag sa cheud de bhuidseat na Buidhne Iomairt a chaidh a riarachadh airson na dleastanais shòisealta.
Thuirt Iain Aonghas MacAoidh, Ceannard (CEO) ùr a’ Bhùird: “Tha am Bòrd ag obair ann an com-pàirteachas le ùghdarrasan ionadail, buidhnean poblach agus buidhnean coimhearsnachd gus iomairtean Gàidhlig a mhaoineachadh. Tha Iomairt na Gàidhealtachd ’s nan Eilean (HIE) agus Bòrd Leasachaidh na Gàidhealtachd ’s nan Eilean (HIDB) a bh’ ann roimhe sin, air a bhith nam prìomh luchd-ùidh a thaobh leasachadh agus seilbh ann am pròiseactan cànain, cultair agus dualchais na Gàidhlig air feadh na Gàidhealtachd ’s nan Eilean, gu h-àraid bho thoiseach nan 1980an nuair a chaidh a thuigsinn gun robh comas cànanach agus cultarach na spreigeadh do leasachadh sòisealta agus eaconamach. Bha an raon-dleastanais shòisealta a bha air a gleidheadh san reachdas a stèidhich an HIDB aig an àm sin, na stèidh airson iomairtean ùr-ghnàthach cànanach is cultarach a chur air bhonn, a tha bhon uair sin air cosnadh brìgheil agus buannachdan eaconamach don sgìre a thoirt gu buil - gu deatamach ann an sgìrean far nach robh modalan eaconamach àbhaisteach air a bhith soirbheachail gu ruige seo no nam brosnachadh làidir gu leòr airson ath-nuadhachadh a chur air adhart.”
Anns an tagradh chun na Comataidh, tha am Bòrd a’ togail gu làidir air an leasachadh ann an craoladh Gàidhlig, na h-ealain Ghàidhlig, foillseachadh Gàidhlig agus iomairtean coimhearsnachd Gàidhlig a tha air a bhith maoinichte tro raon-dleastanais shòisealta HIE, nach robh a-riamh air a thighinn gu bith às aonais. Am measg phròiseactan seilbhe cànain is cultair na Gàidhlig a tha air a bhith nam buannachd do na sgìrean aca tro leasachadh eaconamach agus tro chruthachadh is gleidheadh chosnaidhean, tha na prìomh leasachaidhean aig Sabhal Mòr Ostaig san Eilean Sgìtheanach, Studio Alba agus Colaisde a’ Chaisteil ann an Leòdhas, a thuilleadh air tachartasan cultarach leithid fèis ciùil Blas, Fèisean nan Gàidheal agus liubhairt air cùmhnant leasachaidh Gàidhlig HIE tro Chomunn na Gàidhlig agus Pròiseact nan Ealan.
Còmhla, tha na leasachaidhean sin air àireamh bhrìgheil de chosnaidhean a chruthachadh agus a chuideachadh, a tha air buaidh mhòr eaconamach a thoirt air an sgìrean fhèin, gu h-àraid an ath-nuadhachadh air a’ choimhearsnachd ann an Slèite san Eilean Sgitheanach am measg an fheadhainn as sònraichte, air a spreigeadh agus air a chumail suas leis a’ Cholaiste Ghàidhlig, Sabhal Mòr Ostaig.
Tha am Bòrd a’ crìochnachadh le: “Tha raon-dleastanais shòisealta HIBD/HIE gu follaiseach air cuideachadh le spiorad iomairt a bhrosnachadh, a tha freumhaichte ann an dìlseachd cànanach is cultarach ann an sgìrean far nach robh modalan leasachaidh eaconamach eile roimhe buadhmhor gu ìre sam bith, agus mar sin a’ cruthachadh dhòighean ùr-ghnàthaichte a thaobh leasachadh gnothachais.
Tha Bòrd na Gàidhlig a’ moladh gu làidir gum bi an t-àite agus an raon-dleastanais seo air a chumail a’ dol san àm ri teachd. Ma leanas an ath-bhreithneachadh làithreach seo air adhart gu solar ùr airson eadar-theachd a dhèanamh air leasachadh eaconamach, tha Bòrd na Gàidhlig a’ moladh gum bi an raon-dleastanais sòisealta air a neadachadh air feadh Alba gu lèir, ann an co-rèir ri dleastanas na h-iomairt gus dèanamh cinnteach gum faodar doigh-obrach ioma-phàirteach a choileanadh ann an leasachadh sòisealta, cultarach, cànanach agus eaconamach.”

PATIENT EXPERIENCE PROJECT
PATIENTS RECENTLY DISCHARGED FROM HOSPITAL ASKED TO HELP WITH JOINT PROJECT
On 15 March 2010 the Independent Advice and Support Service and Argyll & Bute Community Health Partnership launched a joint project to look at the experiences of patients discharged from hospital in the last twelve months. The deadline for feedback was August but this has been extended to 31st December to give more people an opportunity to get in touch with us.
The project wants to hear from any patients living in the Argyll and Bute area who were discharged from any hospital in the last twelve months and are willing to share their experience. Based on the feedback received, the partnership aims to look at the results with a view to improving people’s experience when they are discharged from hospitals.
The Independent Advice and Support Service (IASS) was established in response to the restructuring of the Local Health Councils, supported by Citizens Advice Scotland, and funded by local National Health Service Boards. IASS is available for anyone who uses the NHS and aims to support patients, their carers and families in their dealings with the NHS and other matters affecting their health.
IASS is a free, confidential, independent and impartial service. IASS can help people who require advice and help on a range of issues that can have an impact on health, assistance with identifying and exploring options to raise concerns about NHS services, and provide information on how to access health and community services that offer additional support for an individual’s health care needs.
Jose Walker, IASS Worker based at the Citizens Advice Bureau office in Lochgilphead, said:
“A few people have been in contact with us to share their experience of being discharged from hospital. How people are discharged and their experience at this stage in their care is crucial to promoting health and well being, and as such we are keen to encourage more people to get in touch.
“We would like to hear from anyone living in Argyll and Bute who has experience of being discharged from any hospital during the last twelve months. You can write to us or if you wish we may be able to arrange to meet you in person. What you share with us will be treated with the strictest confidence.
“Please feel free to give me a call on 01546 605556, email me at HYPERLINK "mailto:j.walker@abcab.org.uk" j.walker@abcab.org.uk or write to me at Argyll and Bute Citizens Advice Bureau, Riverside, Oban Road, Lochgilphead, PA31 8NG.”
Caroline Champion, Planning & Public Involvement Manager for Argyll & Bute Community Health Partnership, said:
“For a while now, we have heard anecdotal stories about what has happened to patients when they have been discharged from hospital. Some of these are good, but others less so. This project will enable us to start documenting these stories and really get our patients involved in helping us to improve how they experience health services.
“I would encourage anyone who has been in hospital within the last twelve months to share their experience by getting in touch with Josie. Argyll and Bute CHP is committed to learning from the people who use our services, so together we can continue to make the improvements necessary for all our patients. By extending the project until the end of the year, we hope this demonstrates our commitment to patients.”

The Vatican is traditionally a male dominated state. But recently women have increasingly been finding careers at the heart of the
Catholic faith; running, promoting and preserving the heart of the Catholic church.
These women do some of the most important jobs in the Vatican – out with those jobs which require ordination. They fulfil tasks as
varied as helping to vet saint applicants to dealing with public enquiries to meet the Pope.

FIRST MINISTER ANNOUNCES FUNDING TO SUPPORT GAELIC SHORT-FILM COMPETITION ‘FILMG’
First Minister Alex Salmond announced funding to help train aspiring film-makers today (Friday 27 August) during a visit to Sabhal Mòr Ostaig on the Isle of Skye.
Mr Salmond confirmed £10,000 Scottish Government funding and £15,000 from Bòrd na Gàidhlig to support skills training for entrants to the Gaelic language short-film competition, FilmG. He was visiting Cànan, the creative multimedia company which is delivering the competition awards and is based in the Fàs Centre at the Gaelic college.
FilmG was launched by MG ALBA, the Gaelic Media Service, in 2008 to uncover new talent for development on the Gaelic digital channel, BBC ALBA and to produce significant new Gaelic content for the web. The competition, now in its third year, has attracted more than 100 Gaelic films its first two years, all of which are available for viewing online. The competition includes training in production, scriptwriting, directing, camera, sound, editing and Gaelic.
During his visit the First Minister also had a meeting with Sabhal Mòr Ostaig Principal Boyd Robertson and other senior college staff, where they discussed a range of issues.
Mr Salmond said: “I’m pleased to be at Sabhal Mòr Ostaig again to meet the college’s senior management and delighted to hear of the positive impact FilmG is having and the opportunities that the competition is creating.
“The Scottish Government is committed to increasing the number of Gaelic speakers, enhancing the place of Gaelic education, improving the status of the language across Scotland and supporting Gaelic-speaking communities. Sabhal Mòr Ostaig plays a key role in helping us meet our objectives - promoting Gaelic language and culture, making a distinctive contribution to further and higher education in Scotland, revitalising the rural economy of Skye and forming important international links.
“The Scottish Government is also a strong supporter of MG ALBA. The FilmG Awards is a tremendous initiative that in its first two years has already inspired many talented and creative people in Scotland. The competition provides exciting opportunities for entrants to take their first few steps towards a career in the screen industries. I’m delighted to announce £25,000 funding from the Scottish Government and Bòrd na Gàidhlig to support the training of those taking part in this year’s FilmG Awards.”
Alasdair Morrison, Chairman of MG ALBA, said: “FilmG has unlocked a whole new area of creative talent among Gaelic speakers of all ages. We are delighted that the project has the support of the Scottish Government and Bòrd na Gàidhlig, as well as the continued support from Highlands and Islands Enterprise and many other organisations, and we look forward to seeing this year’s crop of new films in December when they come available online.”
Arthur Cormack, Cathraiche of Bòrd na Gàidhlig, said: “Bòrd na Gàidhlig is delighted to support FilmG once more. The Bòrd’s Action Plan to increase numbers of Gaelic speakers, Ginealach Ùr na Gàidhlig, calls for opportunities for young people, particularly those in Gaelic medium education, to use Gaelic in a creative way and build up positive associations with the language outside the classroom. Participation in FilmG is one way in which this can be realised and we wish it continued success.”
Donella Beaton, Chief Executive of Cànan, said: “108 Gaelic films have been made through FilmG and over 300 people have participated in training so far. Today’s announcement will allow us to expand our adult training programme and support more than 20 schools throughout Scotland. The quality of the films received show that the money is well spent.”
This year’s FilmG theme is ‘Làmh an Uachdar’ (‘The Upper Hand’) and both Gaelic and non-Gaelic speaking entrants are being encourage to take part to showcase their creative talent on screen. FilmG can offer additional opportunities in the Gaelic digital media industry if successful, with the first winner of the competition having had his short production shown at international film festivals throughout the world.
